if quantitative social science is automatable, it's because many of the fields in question have already reorganized their research in such a way to be indistinguishable from machine output, and already optimized for machine measurement.

About the role

UCL has a longstanding tradition of inter-disciplinarity across Law, Political Science and International Relations. We are looking to appoint as Lecturer one or more outstanding candidate(s) who will be able to contribute to UCL’s development and advancement of world leading teaching and research in both law and politics, understood broadly. The successful candidate will have their research home in the Faculty of Laws, while their teaching duties will be split across Laws and EISPS. Their teaching will include core modules offered by the Faculty of Laws in EU Law and in Public International Law (as expertise permits) aimed at students on non-law programmes, as well as elective interdisciplinary modules offered primarily by the EISPS Department, shaped by their expertise and research interests.

Reflecting the broad strengths of the Faculty, we are keen for applications from a diverse range of scholars: those who take socio-legal, comparative, doctrinal, empirical, historical, and/or theoretical approaches; those who adopt interdisciplinary approaches; and/or those who approach EU and Public International Law through economic analysis of law and intersecting legal subject areas.

The deadline for applications is Monday 23 March 2026. Interviews will likely take place in the weeks commencing 11 or 18 May 2026.

About you

Successful candidates will be expected to engage in world leading research, and to contribute to UCL’s development and advancement of an interdisciplinary approach to EU Law / Public International Law and political science and other areas of law falling within their subject matter expertise. It is also expected that the post-holders will contribute to all aspects of the academic life of the Faculty and University.

There's a Schiphol taxi scam where they overcharge/upsell people -- hit my parents and my in-laws, among other people. Happy to say that after many weeks and many, many emails, my parents are receiving a 29-euro refund
